omni

You should go look at the thread that says "All about armor v2."

I believe Dr Brain has already said that was impossible, the only solution would be to make the lanc have higher gun/bombspeed I prob should have said that instead. A higher bullet speed would be nice. I think that it should keep the same bomb speed or only increase it slightly. The slow bomb is more defensive and ties into the type of ship it's supposed to be. The guns also ties into the defensive aspect of lanc. A way to make it more fun is try making a rush lanc. 4250 energy running through base with AD is quite fun.

Yes, because we all care about each other like brothers over this wonderful game.

Money please

It's better than what the staff here are capable of.

If only a mod could actually do something like this for the zone, though then it may be too big to keep track of. But it looks awesome. Make sure you tell me if you do another one, I wanna play.

Oh so you are exolity. No wonder.

I'd like to be able to see flags from spec. Maybe put in a delay? Turn it on when you want to see flags, and you cant leave spec for 1 minute after you turn it off. That could work, without making it too rigged. Also, if the warehouse was opened, maybe allow items that can increase warehouse space, etc. Or is warehouse already unlimited space? If so, that'd be pretty gay. What about some items that allow ships to decrease flag timer? Or increase ball timer? Those would be pretty interesting.

Well I talked with kewlair a while back and he gave me the name omni since it has been inactive since 2000. Maybe you could ask him?

oh only 36k? I thought it was more lol ew.. and I had like 630k in there

I think i made over 60k off your bot. <3

I agree with the people who said IE should be rechargeable. Even at every life would be nice. Just make the max amount be 2 or something. But other bricks shouldn't be rechargeable.

Fair enough.

This needs to be #1 priority if we want the zone to grow. Anyways, I'd say once an anti-hopping mechanism is in place, it would be a good time for a wipe, allowing new players to join, having an almost equal oppurtunity with the experienced players.

I see you decreased the interest rates?

This won't really work.

Flag games will be endless with rechargeable bricks. This would also make brickwarping more common. Plus EI is useless because you'd have to go to base 8 each time you use it. My vote is no; instead, you should think about decreasing brick prices, or make them buyable from center, the way reps and bursts are.

Thanks. I was just checking.

I was just wondering if Arnk, or anyone, kept logs of this bot, just in case something were to happen to it. And if something did happen to the bot, would we get our money back? I remember there being issues back with the old HS Bank where people lost money.

Money isn't really a problem. New players with low exp can leech over 50k per flag game just sitting in base. The problem is exp. I don't really see why exp is even implemented. Instead of making useless items, ie. fission reactor (supposedly for noobs), you should just take away the exp system, and create a larger variety of items that cost money only. This way, ships can be more diverse, instead of now, where all warbirds with over 10k exp have the exact same items.

Aishi you just made an !@#$%^&*umption. Did you know in reality most users are between the ages of 15 and 19? And as I said, that was just an example. Btw Gar, of course that isn't how game designers intend it, but that is what results from it. There is no game that can please everybody.

Maybe we're the "gamers that play old!@#$%^&* games in the grindfest RPG style" demographic. The thing is, the players fit the zone. The zone doesn't fit the players. Players who like the way this zone is built will come play here. Those that don't will leave. Simple as that.

@Relos You could easily make a spider on the first day of playing if there was a base game going. People won't blame you for not being able to contribute much to flagging if you're a beginner. @Gar Many games don't even have compe!@#$%^&*ion between players. Does that make them not fun? For lack of a better example, lets use Maplestory. The whole point of the game is to level up and get items, much like in Hyperspace yes? Except in Maplestory,you don't even have a chance to compete against other players, PvP, at least in the english version, as far as I know. So this eliminates the "skill factor" that you've mentioned various times. It becomes a grindfest game, where higher level players can killsteal the beginners all they want. And yet, it is one of the most popular games online. Honestly, I just read what I wrote, and I don't know what it means. If you find some relevency to the original post, please reply.

Gar, that is what makes this zone unique. If you want to play a skill-based zone, go somewhere else.

Thing is, most "newbies" that get out of the "newbie sinkhole" aren't newbies at all. For both experienced and new players, it will take time to get exp and money, the difference is the speed in which they do it. Honestly I don't see a problem with this. I've started a new account and i've gotten 500 exp on the first day with a stock wb using pulse. My cousin, omgomg, is a 6 year old who can cloak rush with shark and makes money and experience all on his own. If he can do it, it's pretty pathetic if you guys cant. The point of this zone isnt for new players to compete with players who have been here long, hence the RPG theme, which has been mentioned by several people before. RPGs are grindfests and if new players can't handle that, then they shouldn't play here. Tbh, this zone is actually completely built for noobs. if 90% of the HS population were to go to another zone, they would suck. Believe me. I'd say keep things the way they are. And Russky, yeah. I'd say the only thing TW Key is useful for now is flanking with fields and bricks.
